Zinoleesky’s “Omo Ologo” and Ayo Maff and Naira Marley’s “Take Away” have entered Apple Music Nigeria’s Top 100 following their November 13 releases. In a November 14 morning snapshot, chart tracker Kworb placed the songs at No. 26 and No. 70 respectively. Apple’s own Nigeria Most Played feed, checked later that morning, also listed both songs, at No. 22 and No. 62. Those positions belong to different snapshots of a moving platform chart, not to the weekly Nigerian market as a whole.
The business point is the speed at which a Friday release can become visible on a platform list. Both songs arrived with videos, and both appeared in a Nigeria video trending list by the next morning. That is early evidence of discovery on specific services, not a measure of total audience, revenue or a sustained hit. Their paths are also different: one is a solo release tied to an artist’s next project; the other is a collaboration whose release credit names an independent company alongside EMPIRE.
Two entries on the same morning
Kworb’s Apple Music Nigeria Top Songs page showed “Omo Ologo” as a new entry at No. 26 and “Take Away” as a new entry at No. 70 in its November 14 snapshot marked 05:44 Eastern Standard Time. A later check of Apple’s own Nigeria Most Played feed showed Zinoleesky at No. 22 and Ayo Maff and Naira Marley at No. 62. The feed confirms that both recordings were on the platform’s Nigerian list; the difference in ranks is a reminder that a live chart can change between checks.
The songs have also been visible in video discovery. Kworb’s Nigeria YouTube trending snapshot marked November 14 at 06:40 Eastern Standard Time listed the official “Take Away” video at No. 1 and Zinoleesky’s “Omo Ologo” video at No. 7. This is a tracker snapshot of a video trending list. It should not be read as a YouTube music-stream ranking, and the position of a video does not tell us how many paid streams its audio release received.
Pulse Nigeria’s November 13 release roundup identifies both songs among the week’s new Nigerian music. Apple Music’s release page independently dates “Take Away” to November 13 and credits Ayo Maff and Naira Marley. The platform gives its phonogram line as OCEANSTREET CREATIVE LTD / EMPIRE and displays EMPIRE in the record-label field. That is a public release credit, not a disclosure of the parties’ contract, ownership split or marketing budget.
What the first positions can and cannot say
“Omo Ologo” has a project context. Pulse describes it as the opening release for Zinoleesky’s forthcoming Euphoria EP. The timing makes its first chart appearance useful to watch, but there is no published release date for the EP in the evidence reviewed here, and the first-day ranking does not establish whether the track will remain in the Top 100. InterSpace Daily covered Zinoleesky’s Zinodict Music launch in October. We also reported Sony Music Publishing West Africa’s November signing of him as a songwriter. Neither earlier development tells us which company controls this particular master or which compositions the publishing agreement covers.
“Take Away” has a collaboration and release-credit angle. Apple names two performers and displays OCEANSTREET CREATIVE LTD / EMPIRE on the recording’s public page. Pulse’s roundup identifies it as their first official collaboration. Its lower Apple position in the first snapshot is a difference in early platform placement, not a verdict on the song’s eventual reach. The No. 1 position of its video on Kworb’s Nigeria trending snapshot is a separate signal and cannot be converted into a song-chart position.
The next useful comparison is not whether either artist can claim a launch-day win. It is whether both tracks remain visible after the first weekend, whether the Spotify Nigeria daily chart reflects the Friday release window, and where they land on TurnTable’s next dated Official Nigeria Top 100. The TurnTable chart available during this check covers October 30 to November 5, before either song was released. Until those later measurements arrive, the precise story is two new releases gaining early, platform-specific visibility on November 14.
